'Admissions' is published by Upswell Publishing and is available in all good bookshops. It may also be ordered online.

​

Verge Literary Journal published one of Paris's poems in their annual anthology. The 2023  theme was 'Defiant', which is an apt description of Paris, really. It may be ordered here.

​

Paris's work also appears (twice!) in FemAsia Magazine (a publication recognised as one of the top four publications/magazines in the British Asian Media Industry for 2022). You may read Paris's poems 'Shotgun Smoke' and 'I'm too dumb for poetry' here.

​

As a slight departure from poetry, Paris's first (and only!) piece of micro-fiction has been published in the inaugural BAD Western Sydney crime anthology, which may be purchased here.

​

Paris's poem 'Hotel Hoarder' has been published in Issue #5 of Authora Australis.

​

It came as a wonderful surprise to Paris to have won 1st Prize in the Short Stories Unlimited spring themed short story competition. Her winning story, 'Sakura', has been published in the Four Seasons Project anthology, which may be purchased here.

​

Paris’s poetry was longlisted for the Heroines/Joyce Parkes Writing Prize 2022

and appears in Heroines Anthology (vol.4.).

​

A collection of several of Paris's poems were published in The Frida Affect Issue #3.

​

Paris' coastal-themed poem was selected for publication in the South Coast Writers Centre 34 to 37 Degrees digital anthology. You may read Paris's poem 'I found this jawbone at the sea's edge' (the title of which comes from Ted Hughes' opening line of his poem 'Relic') here.

​

Paris's sensual poem 'The Art of...' will appear in the upcoming anthology 'I write the body'. Two more of her poems, 'The Hum of Escape' and 'Pas de Deux (The Lovers Dance)', will be published in 'LOVESICK' zine Issue #1.

​

Gems Zine published Paris's cheeky prose poem 'Hit me babe, with one more line' in Issue #23, which may be purchased here. Paris's poem is a celebration of what she considers to be orgasmically good poetry. 

​

Much to Paris's delight, she will have a poem+photographic pairing appearing in both the U.S. schlock-horror zine 'Strange World' Issue #4 ('lolita mained a little man') and underground Glaswegian zine 'Haunted Girlfriend' Poetic Sexploration Issue (an epic 9x9x9: 'Pretty Peggy's Pocketbook of Peccadillos'). This liberating anthology may be purchased here.
